Re: [orca-list] orca and thunderbird

Hi Deedra.
What command do you use to read the current line?
I use the basic where am operation, in my machine bounded to OrcaKey+enter.
It works OK for me.

Regarding the second problem in which you need to press tab to read the
e-mail, you can try configure orca to automaticaly start speaking a page
when it is first loaded.
Try the following:
1: Open thunderbird.
2: Press OrcaKey+ctrl+space.
3: Find a page called thunderbird.
4: Find an option called automatically speaking a page when it is first
loaded.
5: Check the option and save.


What version of orca are you using?
Thanks.
